The hinges are just fine with an aftermarket tire/wheel combo. Iâm with you, I wonât spend that much on something that the RC plate will do. I wasnât going to run anything with mine, but I figured for $60 why not.For $550, the mopar kit doesn't strengthen the hinges and that's alot of $ to not address the hinges. I see that most people running 37s and larger are buying aftermarket bumper/tire carrier combo or something like the Ace/Rugged Ridge actual hinge upgrade kit rated for 40" tires for about the same price as the mopar kit.
As a data point, I've been running a 315/70/17 ko2 with aftermarket wheel(92 lbs total) for almost a year on the stock carrier and have bounced the jeep around offroad and it's held up fine.
